Drool everywhere, anything and everything goes into the mouth, and crying after crying…what does that sound like? Teething time: every parent has been there and dreads it for the next one.

I recently had a chance to review some Chewthers from Tommee Tippee. I love the idea and concepts behind Chewthers. I have to say these are very cute and stylish. Not only are they cute, but very useful as well! Chewther oral trainers are specially designed for self soothing, speech development, progressive feeding and tooth care. As children grow, in order to prepare for adult-like foods and learn to speak, they first explore texture to develop and train the muscles, movement and lip seal needed! They have four different stages: 1:3 months, 2: 4months, 3: 6 months, and 4:9months. All these skills are learned from just chewing on a toy. How cool is that!

I received two different kinds of chewthers. I got one for 4 and 6 months. My daughter loves both of them. The stage 2, dual ended chewther, works great because it is easy and small for her to hold on to. It is used for speech development, and helps with pureed foods. It will also help them develop a lip seal. The stage 3, chewther keys resemble a toy they can safely stick in their mouth. How great is that?! It is used for help with the progressive feeding and help with mushy foods. It encourages jaw and muscle coordination.

I love to scrapbook but just don’t really have the time and patience to do it. Tommee Tippee offers the new application that allows me to make a scrapbook with very little effort. It’s called “The Day Baby Was Born”. The application is free which makes it even better!! It allows you to capture memories of pregnancy and birth through the gathering of Facebook posts, a selection of birthday news and facts and the collection precious memories through a pregnancy journal!

One lucky winner will have a chance to win a chewther! If you know of another mother who would love to have this for their child please feel free to share on facebook, twitter, or google+!

I live in a town were there are dirt roads everywhere. Only one paved road in town and that’s in the center of the town. 90% of my house is hardwood floors. I catch myself sweeping at least once a day because of all the dirt that comes in on our shoes. Every time I do it I think what a waste of time it is, because I will be just doing it again tomorrow. I never thought there would be an end to the everyday sweeping, but there was a solution. Dr. Doormat was my answer. You think a doormat couldn’t stop that. Trust me it does and much more.

Have you ever set down and thought about all the microorganisms that you bring in on your shoes? You bring in: allergens, lead, pesticides, dust mites, mold, bacteria, fungus and mildew into your home. Dr. Doormat helps block and limits these coming in your home.The Dr. Doormat will help you destroy them. Dr. Doormat has proven an 83% reduction in fungus and 70% reduction in bacteria.

Here is how it works: “The antimicrobial treatment is like a microscopic layer of swords and spikes acting as a barrier upon the surface of the entire doormat. Microbes are negatively charged individual single cell living organisms. The treated surface of Dr. Doormat is positively charged pulling the negatively charged microbe down upon its sword like a magnet, piercing the cell membrane and destroying the invading microorganism on contact. springboard for the microbes and pollutants to contaminate the soles of your shoes and transport all of the pollutants into your home.” (http://drdoormat.com/1-how-it-works)

Who would have thought that all this comes from a doormat? Not me, but I love it! Don’t just take my word about it. Go look for yourself! Bellow is some important links about Dr. Doormat where you can go find out more information about Dr. Doormat.

Close your eyes for a minute and imagine this: you are in a doctor’s office and you have a four-year-old, a three-year-old, and a three-month-old. You have already been waiting for 45 minutes past the time of your doctor’s appointment and from the look of the waiting room you are not going to get in anytime soon. The four-year-old is wanting to run around everywhere, the three-year-old is talking loudly trying to get everyone’s attention, and the three-month-old is crying, wanting to be fed. Now open your eyes. What was the first word that came to your mind? For me it was STRESS! Well I have solution for you…Leapster Explorer!!!

The Leapster Explorer is a hand-held video game system for children. The game includes a stylus for various activities and can be played with cartridge-loaded games or those downloaded directly to the Leapster Explorer from the internet. No game for this system is purely a “game,” as each one is educational as well as fun for children. Children can play games which help to improve skills in reading, writing, spelling, mathematics, science, etc.

My son got one of these from his Nana and I think these are a must have! Everything about them is great. I don’t even know where to start. Because these are small, they are convenient for on-the-go activities. There is a port for headphones so the kids can listen to the game and not disturb those around them. Those two features alone make it perfect for keeping the kids entertained at doctor’s offices, games, restaurants, grocery shopping, and in the vehicle on long trips. In addition to keeping the kids entertained with educational games, the Leapster Explorer will also read books aloud. These are available for download from the internet as well.

My son loves his game so much that we cannot leave the house without it (and I don’t want to). I am very impressed with the Leapster Explorer. During the first week of playing his game my son began to talk about syllables in a word. Impressive for a four-year old! Leapster Explorer is a must have for every household with young children. I believe this so much that for my daughter’s third birthday, we went out and bought her one. Final thought: kids love it and mom approves. You can’t go wrong with that!
